Nicholas Dodd

about

After graduating with honours from the Royal College of Music, Maestro Dodd founded the Chelsea Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble that included the finest of the Royal College's graduates. He secured the necessary support to allow the orchestra to mount and develop regular season programmes and to regularly perform in London. The Chelsea Symphony orchestra toured in Europe, including performances in Switzerland and Paris, where the audiences showed their enthusiasm by awarding Maestro Dodd and the Orchestra a ten-minute standing ovation. The CSO was invited to New York City for the Britain Salutes New York festival, where they were received with equal enthusiasm. Maestro Dodd continued to fulfil concert engagements in England, including the Royal Albert Hall, and was approached by American composer Richard Adler to conduct the European première of his Wilderness Suite. The concert, held at St John's Smith Square in London, favourably impressed audiences and critics alike. In 1987 Maestro Dodd was invited to conduct the Houston Symphony Orchestra as the highlight of their Mostly Mozart festival. The critics were generous in their praise: "Nicholas gave a sparkling and lyrically phrased performance" (The Houston Post). Travelling frequently to the USA in 1990, Maestro Dodd recorded La Chanson Du Voyage, a song-cycle for soprano and orchestra, with soloist Janice Grissom and narrator Robert Powell. He was also Music Director and Conductor for the 'World Student Games' in Eng
